Gigabyte B450 Gaming X, AMD B450 motherboard - AM4 socket [B450 GAMING X]

The AMD B450 chipset is the heart of the Gigabyte B450 Gaming X motherboard and has been specially optimized for AMD Ryzen CPUs. B450 motherboards support up to 64 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock speed of 2,667 megahertz. With overclocking, depending on the motherboard, much higher clock rates are possible and the B450 chipset also enables the processor to be overclocked.

The features of the Gigabyte B450 Gaming X at a glance:
- 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16) for high-end graphics cards
- 6x USB 3.0 / 6x USB 2.0 & 1x PCIe x16 (x4) / 2x PCIe 2.0
- 1x M.2 slot PCIe 3.0 x4 / SATA 6G (up to 22110) / 6x SATA 6G
- Max. 64 GB DDR4 memory up to 3,600 MHz using OC
- 1x DVI-D & 1x HDMI 2.0 for 4096x2160 px @ 60 Hz
- AMD B450 chipset with Ryzen 3000 support
- Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0 for addressable RGB LED lighting

The equipment of the Gigabyte B450 Gaming X in detail:
The Gigabyte B450 Gaming X ATX motherboard has a PCI Express 3.0 slot with a full x16 connection for graphics cards. For additional expansion cards, the mainboard provides two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots and a PCI Express 2.0 x 16 slot with x4 connection. The four RAM banks support up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM with a clock rate of up to 2,933 megahertz and can even handle clock rates up to 3,600 MHz via OC.

An M.2 slot with either PCIe or SATA 6G connection is provided by the AM4 mainboard. M.2 SSDs with the advanced NVM Express protocol (NVMe) and a connection via four PCI Express 3.0 lanes are up to eight times faster than SATA 6G hard drives and support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gbit / s. The slot accepts M.2 cards up to 110 mm (22110).

The Gigabyte B450 Gaming X provides four Type A USB 3.0 sockets on the I / O panel. There are also four USB 2.0 ports there. For CPUs with an integrated graphics unit such as AMD's Picasso or Raven Ridge, a DVI-D connection is available in addition to an HDMI. A total of four fans can be connected directly to the board. Thanks to Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, a wide range of addressable RGB LED lighting is also available.
